Description
Single-arch road bridge over river, extant 1840. Part creeper- or ivy-covered coursed rubble stone walls with overgrown rubble stone coping to parapets. Single elliptical or segmental arch with granite ashlar voussoirs centred on cut-granite keystones. Sited spanning Banoge River with unkempt banks to river.
Appraisal
A bridge representing an integral component of the civil engineering heritage of Gorey with the architectural value of the composition suggested not only by the silver-grey granite dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship, but also by the elegant "sweep" of the arch making a pleasing visual statement at a crossing over the stream-like Banoge River.
